   EastBayCAStudent replied to organichombre's topic in General Nursing

   My husband is very into fitness. He paid for a gym membership and got an evaluation by a trainer and a workout plan and asked what would help him lose weight. The guy said "That has more to do with what you do outside the gym." In other words, you ...

   EastBayCAStudent replied to malestudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Awesome job! You provided a lot more care and compassion than what was required, and it made a huge difference. You should be very proud.

3. Funny things that pts say

   EastBayCAStudent replied to jRN4now's topic in Humor

   In my CNA clinicals at LTC I had one grumpy patient who would yell and scream and make grumpy faces. I gave in to curiosity and went in to talk to her, half afraid she would try to hit me. She told me I have nice teeth. Another patient's wife was ...

   It sounds like she was giving you an orientation more than an interview! good luck!

   EastBayCAStudent replied to ltf500's topic in ADN/BSN

   I've been looking at Samuel Merritt ABSN, and it costs 52K, plus there are more prerequisites than other programs. So I'm kind of debating still.

6. Defining a term: plethora?

   A plethora? Disclaimer: This is just silly and not helpful at all. Sorry, I just had to add it.

7. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

   EastBayCAStudent replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

   Tha facts are irrelevant. Your attitude is the issue. A student may be difficult, but as an RN you should be able to manage the situation. If that means telling the instructor to limit the student's activity or to tell the student to do things tha...

10. What would you have said to this CNA

    EastBayCAStudent replied to zofran's topic in Relations

    Disclaimer: I'm a soon-to-be CNA, and a student working toward RN. I have more business experience than medical. A CNA reports to the RN or LVN, whoever he or she is assigned to report to that day. What was asked is within scope of practice. It...

11. New CNA with New Job... What would you do?

    EastBayCAStudent replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Nursing

    I'd drop the toxic friend in a heartbeat. No need to stir up any more drama in the process, just avoid her and refuse to talk to her any more than is required by work. If conversation turns to anything not directly work related (like at a meeting) ...

12. What is normally acceptable?

    EastBayCAStudent posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    I'll be a CNA next month. I may end up working for an agency at first, so I will rotate between several nursing homes and hospitals. What kind of shoes do I need? Will I be ok with any white sneakers or are some facilities strict about the shoes ...

13. CNAs We Love and Hate

    EastBayCAStudent replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    Most of your original post was fine. CNA's are there to support you, and to free you up to do other things. That's just the way it is, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it was your tone, and some of the things you said that revealed a big pa...

14. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    EastBayCAStudent replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, zuzi, I guess you have figured out all of human nature, and you are the only one capable of explaining things. We should inform the media. Maybe you can tell me what I should do for a living, since you are more qualified than I. If you get a ...

15. CNAs We Love and Hate

    EastBayCAStudent replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, LilPeon, it seems like maybe you are just coming across a little more abrasive than you meant to. Perhaps you should reconsider your previous communication with the CNAs in question and try to resolve things.
